The registration advisors at a small eastern college (SEC) help 4,500 students develop their class schedules and register for classes each semester. Each advisor works for 10 hours a day during the registration period. SEC currently has 13 advisors. While advising an individual student can take anywhere from 2 to 30 minutes, it takes an average of 15 minutes per student. During the registration period, the 13 advisors see an average of 390 students a day on a first-come, first-served basis.
